It's October 22nd, 🐨 International Wombat Day! The traditions surrounding today's event have expanded from simply celebrating these cute little creatures to eating lots of chocolate and wine gums (known in some parts of the world as gummy bears or Swedish fish).
Wombats are furry, stocky, short-legged, herbivorous marsupials, native to open grasslands and eucalyptus forests in Australia and Tasmania. They like to keep to themselves, living solitary lives in underground burrows during the day and coming out at night to forage on grasses, roots, and bark.
Space for wombats is at a premium as farm and ranch lands increasingly encroach upon their natural habitats. The damage to crop fields and pastures caused by wombats' burrowing can be a big nuisance. They've been hunted as vermin for this reason, as well as for their fur and simply for sport. They're easy targets because, like their cousins, the koala, they’re very cumbersome and move very slowly. But they're amazingly cute, too, so please stop hunting them. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Eating animals: Like burning your own house down while your still in it. 🏠 #OurHouseIsOnFire 🥩=🌍🔥 -When people eat animals they also go against their own core values that most people have. Such as being against animal abuse, being kind, compassionate, having empathy. -We don't need to eat animals, its completely unnecessary. We can just replace that piece of meat with a vegan protein source like tofu, vegan meat, beans and more. -Animal agriculture is one of the most environmentally destructive industries on this planet. 🌍🍽️ -Using most of the earths water, land and crops. 🌊🌾🌽🌳🐮 -Causing species extinction, ocean dead zones, and habitat destruction. -We could feed more people with plant based foods because it requires less land to grow crops than raise animals. 🍎🍌🍊🍠🥔 -You could get more pounds of plant based food than animal flesh per year with the same amount of land. 🌱 👀For more info watch: •Conspiracy •Seaspiracy •Dominion •Earthlings •DontWatch.Org __ #govegan #vegan #veganism #drawings #art #artists #veganart #vegandrawing #climatecrisis #climatechange #climateactivist #animalagriculture #noplanetb #meat #meatindustry #everythingisfine #iloveanimals #speciesextinction #oceandeadzones #habitatdestruction #truthseekers #climatechangeart #animalrights #animalliberation #ecofriendly #savetheplanet #environmental #environmentalism https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnUbdypmZx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Repost @savesunriseglossies @download.ins --- In the afternoon on the 20th of August at Glossy drinks our latest fledgling was being fed high up in the gum tree by his mum. Spencer was taking identification photographs & videos for his records. In the distance we started to hear the celebratory calls of another new fledgling leaving the safety of the nest for the first time. Spencer & I couldn’t believe what we were hearing. The calls got louder & louder when the new trio finally arrived. In that moment I felt such great joy & sadness. We were standing there witnessing the miracle of life. Gap wing had come home with his precious newly fledged daughter & mate. All of the Glossies gave out a welcoming call to the new arrival. We felt like part of the Flock as a proud dad & friend circled over our heads. I burst into tears as reality hit that this new family was soon to lose their Forest. What made me feel worse was that this was being done by God’s people to God’s creatures. How could believers like me allow this to happen. This goes against everything I have ever been taught by the Church. Just because you have legal approval doesn’t mean it is morally acceptable. What kind of Church doesn’t listen to the Community it serves. I feel nothing but disappear at this point in time. All we have left are our hopes & our prayers. Let’s hope God is listening. Our Glossies are running out of time. Spencer needs help, please. #abcmyphoto#blackcockatoo#wildlife#deforestation#habitatdestruction#savetheplanet#saveourglossies#glossyblackcockatoo#birdphotography#paulhiltonphoto#jim_abernethy#wildlifevoiceinc#theconservationkid#ellasavestheocean#worldwildlifefund#gardeningaustralia#costageorgiadis#jerrycolebywilliams https://www.instagram.com/p/CTM2cGwANBZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Detail of ‘Embrace’, 20”x22”, acrylic on maple panel 2017 for my latest show Spectrum at Joshua Liner Gallery in NYC (swipe to see full painting) I often think of salamanders as the ‘canary in the coal mine’ ~ indicator species provide a barometer for the health of our environment. I made this piece as 1/4 of my synchronized movement series, after witnessing a hopeful scene of Ensatina’s embracing each other in a mating ball aka Amplexus. Aesthetically inspired by minimalist Japanese Aquascaping, I experimented with shadow and highlights following the pattern in the grain of wood. Ensatina’s literally ‘crawling out of the woodwork’ down the steps in the grain to mate in a receding shallow pond of floating duckweed aqua plants. The decline in amphibian populations has been widely publicized yet these secretive salamanders deserve more attention and protection as they are intrinsically valuable and important to the health of our eco-system. I’m hoping if this original painting sells I’ll be able to donate a portion of the proceeds to help them out! If interested please contact @joshualinergallery. If you’d like to learn how you can help these beautiful creatures please check out www.savethesalamanders.com. Thank you! #savethesalamanders #salamanders #ecosystem #ensatina #tiffanybozic #californiaherps #indicatorspecies #habitatdestruction #watermodification

This is the reason why #SpixMacaw became Extinct . Illegal trade and trapping and habitat destruction are responsible for its extinction. #biodiversityextinctionoutbreak #internationalextinctspeciesday #savemefrommyfoe #illegaltrade #habitatdestruction https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHsZmwFfth/?igshid=nm0ga6er9j5m

It's October 1st, 🦝 International Raccoon Appreciation Day. This event was created to encourage us to learn more about raccoons and show our appreciation by protecting their habitats.
Raccoons are nocturnal animals, native to North America and northern South America. In the wild, raccoons have a life expectancy of about 2 to 3 years, but in captivity, they can live up to 20 years. These cute little mammals are omnivores like us who eat a variety of foods – fruits, nuts, berries, insects, rodents, frogs, crayfish, and eggs, while keeping an eye out for predators like cougars, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, and owls.
Despite their appeal, though, some people look upon raccoons as vermin. They can be pesky critters – turning over trash cans, tearing up gardens, stealing eggs from chicken coops, etc. They can also carry diseases like rabies and roundworm.
Most people love raccoons anyway, though – especially the unique way they use their paws to "wash" their food. They also use their little hands to open latches and remove lids from containers. They can rotate their rear paws 180 agrees, which allows them to climb down trees headfirst. Raccoons are incredibly smart, too. At one time, they were used instead of lab rats, but the strong-willed raccoons kept outsmarting the scientists. Because of their high intelligence and cuteness, some people keep raccoons as pets. President Calvin Coolidge had two pet raccoons while he was in the White House. How cute! ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

🦚❤Members of the local community rescued an injured and displaced peahen from hunters and together we rehabilitated her to good health under veterinary supervision. She was injured and displaced due to irresponsible deforestation and urbanization. 🌲 Together with the community we released her back into the wild at a forest island where we hope she will find her peers. It is our hope that the children present at the release will learn the importance of preserving wildlife and be inspired to grow up to become environment loving citizens.🇱🇰 නාගරීකරණය හේතුකොටගෙන හරිත වන සම්පත ශීඝ්‍රයෙන් විනාශ වීම හේතුවෙන් නිජබිම අහිමි වී අවතැන්ව සිටි ආබාධිත 🦚 මොණරෙකු ප්‍රදේශවාසීන් විසින් දඩයම් කරුවන්ගෙන් මුදවාගෙන අප සමග එක්ව පශු වෛද්‍ය උපදෙස් මත පුනරුත්ථාපනය කරන ලදී. මෙම මොනරා වෙන්නප්පුව ප්‍රදේශයේ වන දූපතකට ප්‍රදේශවාසීන් සමඟ එක්ව මුදා හැරුණු වගයි. මෙම අවස්ථාවට සහභාගි වූ දූ දැරියන් වන සම්පත සහ වනජීවීන් ආරක්ෂා කරගැනීමේ වැදගත්කම හඳුනාගත් පුරවැසියන් බවට පත්කිරීමට අවශ්‍ය පූර්වාදර්ශයක් මෙයින් ලබාගත් බව අපි විශ්වාස කරමු.🇱🇰🙏 . . . . . #animalrescue #instadaily #wildlife #wildliferehab #peacock #peahen #beautiful #happy #love #instalove #instawildlife #savetheearth #australia #australiaburns #climatechange #habitatdestruction #philanthropy #nonprofit #roshithapererafoundation #rpf #roshithaperera #රොෂිතපෙරේරා (at Waikkal, Sri Lanka) https://www.instagram.com/p/B66nOOyHygq/?igshid=1wmydq17gv718

#Repost @earthyvibeco (with @report.for.insta) ... It is with great sadness to report that Lewis the koala, whose dramatic rescue from fires burning all around him became a viral video, has died from his wounds. The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital has been caring for Lewis, but they made the decision to euthanize Lewis due to his wounds and pain being too severe and not treatable. Please share this post with your followers and tag everyone who needs to see this so Lewis‘s death will not be in vain, to serve as a tragic reminder to us all how urgent wildfire crisis has become for more and more animals that are losing their homes and their lives every day. As reported over the weekend, koalas are now functionally extinct due to their already endangered status combined now with the loss of their habitat. Please share this post to help us spread awareness about his crisis and RIP to Lewis🐨. . @karmagawa. . #kindness #animalrights #savetheanimals #savetheplanet #animalliberation #climatechange #climatecrisis #climateemergency #iloveanimals #animals #animallovers #veganismo #environment #environmentalists #environmentalistsarevegan #habitatrestoration #habitatdestruction #goveganfortheanimals https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Y7Qs3D5IX/?igshid=24fot84tyq6k

#Repost from @mongabay with @regram.app ... The Gran Chaco is distributed between four countries: Argentina (60 percent), Paraguay (23 percent), Bolivia (13 percent), and Brazil (four percent). As a whole, it houses a wide variety of ecosystems and three major types of forest. Chaco wildlife includes tapirs, peccaries, charatas, giant armadillos and jaguars. It is one of the most deforested areas on the planet. Every month, an area twice the size of Buenos Aires is cut down.

It's not just a choice. We speak up because your unhealthy diet affects all of us. Our planet is being killed. Regrann from @cowspiracy - Eating a plant-based diet is not just good for our health; it is good for Earth’s health. “Shifting away from animal-based foods [could not only] add up to 49% to the global food supply without expanding croplands;” but would also significantly reduce carbon emissions and waste byproducts that end up in our oceans and as seafood byproducts (Jalava et al, 2014). Reductions and removal of all animal products would reduce the direct and indirect threats to Earth’s health and habitability for us, and for all wildlife, flora, and fauna. Source: Robbins, John.
